+Summary: SqlDataReader.GetBytes should return length of field when buffer == null
+
+Description of Problem:
+GetBytes should return the length of the data field when parameter 
+'buffer' is set to null. Mono throws an ArgumentNullException in 
+this case. The attached patch should fix this behaviour. 
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Call SqlDataReader.GetBytes with parameter buffer set to null
+
+Actual Results:
+ArgumentNullException
+
+Expected Results:
+Length of data field
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+I have attached a patch for this problem.
